"Yesterday's braised venison was really too greasy. Sanmao, please make me a bowl of Sihe soup for breakfast. It's easy to make. It's made with five parts of noodles and four parts of sesame seeds, fennel and salt. "

The three cats straightened their ears, and secretly wrote down the recipe in their hearts: "Your Majesty, this Sihe Soup is not troublesome to make, but Your Majesty, you will be back from Cining Palace in a while, why don't I take the hawthorn first?" Have you eaten the meatballs?"

Lowering his eyes and looking at the three cats who were adjusting the corners of his robe, Shen Shiqing said with a smile:

"I usually only stop in front of the Cining Palace, but that's not the case today."

A chicken brought warm tea. She took a sip and put the cup down, then took a warm handkerchief and wiped her hands again.

The four rats remained silent, put down the veil, and fetched a leather belt to tie it up for Your Majesty.

Looking in front of the three eunuchs, Shen Shiqing said slowly: "The two dogs received sixty strokes, which frightened you all into silence."

The three cats slightly shrank their necks.

Ergou was beaten with a stick the night before yesterday. While the emperor was sleeping peacefully, Yiji called all the eunuchs who were serving the emperor to the courtyard of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Ergou had his pants removed and went to the ground. Get beaten.

Yiji still disliked the eunuch who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies and did not dare to exert any force, so he directly asked Si Shu to transfer the Jin Yiwei from Dongchang to carry out the execution.

Seeing Er Gou's butt being beaten to pieces, San Mao was really frightened to death.

Among the four eunuchs, one of them was chosen to study beside the emperor when he was more than ten years old because he was proficient in writing and intelligent. He was said to be a personal servant and could be regarded as an accompanying eunuch. The little mouse, Si Shu, looked at them. It's ordinary. In fact, he worked as a waiter in the East Factory when he was ten years old. He stepped on the blood of countless people step by step before he came to the imperial court. Ergou is considered the most outstanding among them. When he killed Zhang Wan Not only did he make the first move from a cleaning eunuch to a ceremonial eunuch, the emperor also specially rewarded him with a house so that he could settle down. Compared with the three of them, he was a little cat who only knew how to accompany him. I have been playing with the emperor for almost twenty years now. I don’t have much writing in my mind, I only have fun, and I don’t have any achievements in my hands. I only have a little ability to serve people and some cooking skills that the emperor first taught me.

Even Ergou can be beaten like that, so if he makes a mistake, he will definitely be beaten into a dead cat by the emperor!

"Your Majesty, this slave is really scared." The three cats had a smile on their tender and round faces, "Then I thought about it, I have no father, no mother, no home, no family, everything I eat and drink is under the control of the palace. Yes, I only have the Emperor in mind. Thinking of this, I feel at ease."

This sentence reveals a hint that Ergou was greedy for money because he had a family business outside the palace.

The four mice who remained silent glanced at the three cats and saw only a smiling cat face.

Shen Shiqing looked at the neatly dressed young emperor in the bronze mirror and said, "According to your opinion, it was wrong for me to let the two dogs settle down outside the palace?"

Yiji took the hat and put it on for the emperor, and the three cats also took the yellow satin cloud-water pattern cloak from the smoke cage for the emperor to wear, and carefully covered the emperor's body.

"Your Majesty, I thought about it carefully. I probably don't have a family or a job, so I just want to be a funny slave for your Majesty and live by his dragon boots. Unlike Ergou, I have a dog. He has a heart to make achievements. After all, the slaves are cats and dogs tied to the hands of the emperor. Only when the emperor beats and scolds the slaves will they learn to be well-behaved."

Yi Ji held up the hat of "Emperor Zhao De" and glanced at the three cats over the emperor's shoulder.

The third cat looked timid and fearful, and was usually mean-mouthed, but now he was able to intercede for the second dog.

Of course, Shen Shiqing also heard what Sanmao meant. He not only reminded her of Ergou's past achievements, but also emphasized Ergou's usefulness.

"Humph, I've let you say everything. Okay, Ergou will be able to go to the ground in two days, let him come to me and speak on his own."

When walking through the Nuan Pavilion, she raised her foot and kicked Sanmao's round buttocks.

The sixteen-seat warm sedan with carved dragon patterns was slowly lifted up. The four rats following behind turned around and saw the three cats covering their buttocks with both hands, walking happily towards the small dining room.

Long Yu arrived in front of the Cining Palace all the way. Usually there would be a big eunuch or female official standing here. The emperor was sitting in the sedan without having to get down. A chicken went to say that the emperor had come to say hello. The big eunuch of Cining Palace went in to send a message and came out after a while. He said, "The Queen Mother has given orders. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to ask for greetings." At this time, in order to show his filial piety, the emperor would ask the eunuch a few questions, such as whether the Queen Mother ate well and slept well. After speaking, the emperor would You can go back.

But today, there is not even a big eunuch in front of the Cining Palace.

In front of the deserted palace gate, a few withered yellow leaves were swirling in the air with the wind.

As soon as I saw it, I knew that this was the Queen Mother trying to make trouble for the Emperor again, and I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, although they are not very harmonious with the most noble mother and son in the world, Yiji knows in his heart that the emperor has some admiration for the queen mother. The face of the underground prince is such that even a horse running for two days would not be able to show off that person's complete body.

"Your Majesty...it's windy today, why don't we go back earlier."

"No need."

The emperor's warm sedan was extremely spacious, with not only soft chairs but also a small table. Shen Shiqing looked at the memorials spread out on it and said slowly: "Yiji, please ask someone to bring some hand stoves. You guys are outside." Don’t freeze.”

A chicken is about to cry.

But it's not touching.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother..."

"The Queen Mother is getting older and it is rare for her to sleep more deeply. It's okay for me to wait outside as my son."

Shen Shiqing calmly put the approved memorial aside.

She didn't know how long she could be the emperor, but she had to do more and more things. Before she could change back, the investigation of Taipu Temple must be carried out. In this way, even if Zhao Surui changed his body Even after she comes back, she cannot stop at will. This is the trace that Shen Shiqing wants to leave in this world.

It was annoying enough to have Zhao Su Rui nagging her for an hour every three days, and she would not allow anyone to block her path based on their identity.

In front of Cining Palace, the cold wind was howling, and Yi Ji put his hands in his sleeves, looking a little uneasy.

Yesterday, the Emperor was still worried about the Queen Mother's face in the end. Although he took back the powdered Zhuangzi from the Queen Mother's hand and kept the silver and golden Buddha sent by the Queen Mother, but if the Emperor hadn't kept his hand, If the blame is only placed on Shouchenghou alone, the Queen Mother has already become a demon queen who has brought disaster to the country by the censors. How can she still have the thought to be so petty here?

Feeling sorry for the emperor, Yi Ji took a deep breath and glanced at Si Shu standing at the end of the sedan.

Si Shu noticed his gaze, looked at him, and frowned.

The chicken and the mouse looked at each other, saying nothing, and then saying everything.

After a few breaths, the four rats quietly disappeared. Yiji glanced at the curtain of the sedan door, then at the closed door of Cining Palace, and lowered his eyes to cover up his rare anger.

A moment later, another guard of honor came to the door of Cining Palace in the cold wind.

Before the sedan stopped, Queen Lin Miaozhen had already jumped down.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Lin Miaozhen didn't care so much. She opened the curtain of the sedan chair and entered Long Yu: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Seeing the anxious look on Lin Miaozhen's face, Shen Shiqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to her with a smile:

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

How could Lin Miaozhen not be anxious?

She "married" Zhao Su Rui for two things. One was that she could think of Zhao Su Qian quietly, and the other was to stabilize the harem for Zhao Su Rui. To put it bluntly, she fulfilled her filial piety to the Queen Mother every day. , so that the Queen Mother could not torment Zhao Surui less and let him do what he wanted to do.

"The Queen Mother spared my greetings this morning. I thought the Queen Mother had figured it out and you were saving her face. I didn't expect that she was here specifically to deal with you. If I had known this, you would have told me earlier and I would have come with you. ah."

After drinking tea, Lin Miaozhen still couldn't swallow the sigh in her heart.

Seeing that "Zhao Su Rui" was still approving the memorial calmly without losing any temper, Lin Miaozhen suddenly understood something in her heart:

"Did you know that your mother would treat you like this?"

Shen Shiqing smiled and said: "I just guessed two points."

She had seen this kind of tactics a lot when she was in Ning'an's house. She had two mothers-in-law, and she had never given birth. She had to learn all kinds of secret tricks several times a month.

Waiting for an hour with the cold wind blowing at the door during greetings is a trivial matter. The empty tea cup, the dishes placed in front of you even though you know you can't eat them, and you are suddenly asked to use tooth chopsticks to serve the elders, and you are half late. A month's worth of money... Shen Shiqing looked at her hands. When she decided to observe double filial piety, Mrs. Sun suddenly asked her to go to the small Buddhist hall and gave her a small two-inch square incense burner for her to hold.

The incense ash, which is more than a foot high and as thick as a thumb, will fall on her hand at the slightest disturbance, and there are still sparks in it, which makes people nervous.

At that time, no one thought she had been wronged.

The man's palm in front of him was slender and powerful, and there was a smile on Shen Shiqing's eyebrows.

She is the emperor now. When the emperor is wronged, there will be people who feel very sorry for him. No one will say to the emperor: "Suffering is a blessing", and no one will say to the emperor: "Everyone else is like this." Yes, it will take decades to have children and have children."

Looking up, she saw Lin Miaozhen complaining about "himself". Shen Shiqing stretched out her hand and tugged on the sleeves of Lin Miaozhen's Sihe Ruyi gold silk shirt with her index and middle fingers.

"Sister Lin, don't be angry."

Seeing "Zhao Surui" looking at her and coaxing her with a pair of smiling eyes, how could Lin Miaozhen become angry? She pulled up her sleeves and sat aside.

"I'll wait with you. It's not just me. Since the Queen Mother refuses to go down the stairs, I will build the stage higher for her. I have already notified the Palace Officials, Sixth Bureau, Twenty-fourth Division and Gong Zhengsi. Officers and maids, I want to see how long the Queen Mother can stay on the stage."

As soon as she finished speaking in the sedan chair, at the intersection of the road, Si Zheng of Gong Zhengsi had already led hundreds of female officials and maids to come in a mighty manner.

"My slave, please see your majesty and see your empress."

The female officials saluted the sedan, and then turned to the gate of Cining Palace.

"The Queen Mother's phoenix body is golden."

Hundreds of people paid their respects in unison, with great momentum.

Finally, the door of Cining Palace opened, and a great eunuch walked out tremblingly:

"According to the Queen Mother's oral instructions, Your Majesty and the Queen Queen have come in to pay their respects. The rest of the people should wait and disperse."

Shen Shiqing closed the memorial in her hand.
